Hey guys, i own a 81-490, a 83-490 and a 06-500, and I tell ya the new 500 is something to behold, I race mine regularly and I still laugh to myself on how easy it is to leap past the 450′s.
Any of you who have owned a maico knows they are a special breed and take a little more attention than the jap bikes, I had to spend alot of my own r&d to get things right and to be reliable and with stand the tracks over here, there is nothing better than killing the competition with a wall of roost!
I always have guys at the track bug me and ask “why do you still keep riding the 2 strokes?” then I let them take a ride! and nothing more is said.

As to the power band it can be compared to the 83 490, just roll it on and hold on!

Hi, thats great good news!
This is the Maico I was waiting to see again, yes, really this is a true Maico look, in some aspect it remembering me at the look of ’83 model; fantastic! And if yours next step will be to fit the bike with a pair of gold rims…..
I never stop to love Maico and now I’ve a dream: ride a new Maico again!
Looking forward to see and know more about a Maico’s world, wish you my compliments at yours good good job.

P.S. Maico wrote an indelible page of the story of motocross; long life Maico!

I think a distributor in Ontario sounds great. I also think a 700 sounds even better. Good luck

It is a really good looking bike…. but how will it handle and go?
